History

Founded in 1998 by Catherine Andersz and Ivan Nincic, PDFTron was among the first companies outside of Adobe Systems to offer PDF development tools. Their core product, PDFNet SDK, has gone through many iterations since its introduction in 2002 and now includes functionality with the latest technologies. They were early adopters of Microsoft Silverlight and XPS technologies, launching the PDF2XPS product within a year of the format standardization.[2] Advancing into the mobile arena PDFNet now has capabilities in Windows Mobile, iOS, Android [3] and HTML5. The HTML5 feature of their new WebViewer enables platform neutral document viewing and web annotation.[4]

In 2009, New Ventures BC recognized PDFTron as one of their Top 30 new ventures.[5].

Deloitte Technology Fast 500 listed PDFTron as one of 500 fast growing software companies for year 2016 [6]

PDFTron is active in the community being a member in good standing the PDF Association[7] since 2009. It is also member of the British Columbia Technology Industry Association (BCTIA)[8], the Association for Information and Image Management AIIM[9] as well as having direct involvement with the International Organization for Standardization PDF committee and industrial partnerships with Simon Fraser University.[10] Strict adherence to document standards resulted in the inclusion of their PDF/A Manager product in the AIIM PDF/A product guide,[11] as well as international recognition.[12]

In 2018, PDFTron CEO Catherine Andersz was elected to the PDF Association Board of Directors[13]. She also participates actively in industry discussion about PDF future [14]
